[Chorus]
Wish I can go back in time to my father, I didn't really mean it
Wish I can go tell my mom that I loved her, and all of this money I got I don't need it
Wish I could go to the church and I talked to the Lord in an effort to conquer my demons
I'm beggin' and pleadin', I'm down on my knees and he's ready to shoot and I'm practically bleedin'
So this is my destiny, I finna get death to the G
Somebody please help me, yeah
These are my last wordsIt's Dax!

About “My Last Words”

[The song] is purpose driven. I was told you’ll find the most talent in the graveyard. Too many of us leave gifts inside and don’t expose them to the world. That’s what this song is all about. I’m saying goodbye to the old me and so will you.

Dax additionally wrote this song to question those who listened to the song, and those his piece of work reached, with the question: “Are you living to die, or dying to live?”

Much of the song’s material looks at Dax’s past, his prior relationships, and regrets, with a small shoutout to his songs “She Cheated” and “She Cheated Again”, which were milestones for his career. It is essentially a rundown of Dax’s entire personal life and feelings in two minutes and conceptually serves as his “last words” in a fictional scenario where he is about to die.

What inspired this song?

So, “My Last Words” is a metaphorical concept of basically waking up every morning with a gun to your head. And it’s like, if this was your last day on Earth, what would you do? What would you say? Who would you go talk to? What dreams and what talents would you want to get out in the world? So, basically, my goal was to make sure that people know that “My Last Words” isn’t about dying, it’s about living. It’s about getting rid of that old person that’s not doing the things they need to do, that’s worrying about society and how they view them, not chasing their dreams, not chasing their goals.

What inspires you to write motivational songs?

When I first started making music I started off with poetry and motivational speaking, and I was traveling as a motivational speaker, going to schools. That’s always been my intrinsic goal, is to put something into the world that’ll last forever. So, I think it just comes naturally. That’s how I just talk on a regular basis. I know when I motivate other people, they try to motivate me, so it’s always reciprocated. Like, my messages and my music are not only for other people, they’re also for myself, and I consider them affirmations, which is why I use a lot of personal pronouns. So that way, not only when I say the words, but when people say them, they’re talking about themselves, so it’s also a reminder.

Why did you add the singing portions?

I think adding the singing on there gives it more mainstream appeal. I think a lot of people don’t know that I sing and I do that, so it’s nice to show them that. And like at the end of the day, I want my music to be more mainstream with the quotations there, because then it reaches more people, so I’m not closed minded as to say, “I’m trying to just stick underground and fuck all this, fuck all that.” I want my music to reach more people, and I want them to be able to listen to it, and not just have to listen to the words. Like when you hear that singing you could just tune out and vibe to that and not listen to the words, so I put that there.
